Nécessaire The Body Retinol - 150 ml

Nécessaire The Body Retinol

An overnight treatment that firms and rebuilds the look of body skin during sleep.

Nécessaire The Body Retinol is a rich, fragrance-free serum-lotion for evening body care. According to the manufacturer, it contains 0.1% pure, encapsulated retinol, which helps firm and smooth the skin. With regular use, the skin looks smoother, firmer and more even, while crepiness (a thin, finely wrinkled skin surface), lines, wrinkles and spots become less visible. The manufacturer describes the first visible changes after 4 weeks, and an improvement in texture and firmness after 12 weeks. The formula absorbs quickly and is not sticky. Rose water and hyaluronic acid soothe the skin and help prevent dryness. Used gradually, it becomes a calm night-time ritual, also for the neck and décolleté.
